Asylum is the next big problem we (and Trump!)
must face!, by Ann Corcoran 2/7/17
Most of what I write about here
at Refugee
Resettlement Watch is about the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program
which was created when ol’ Ted (Kennedy) and Uncle Joe (Biden) created the
program that was signed in to law in 1980 by Jimmy Carter.
The main thrust of the program is that refugees are chosen abroad (the
UN is picking most of our refugees) and we fly them here. The nine major resettlement
contractors we talk about all the time are then
paid by the head to place them in your towns and cities. They, and the US
State Department, choose the resettlement sites often secretively.
The Tsarnaev (Boston Bomber!)
brothers were refugees whose father had successfully gained asylum and brought
the family to join him. Just goes to show that security screening isn’t
going to be enough to keep us safe. Your tax dollars benefited the boys who
were once cute refugees, but grew into Jihadi killers.
However, an originally small, but now growing part of that same law
deals with asylum. To keep it simple, asylum
seekers get here on their own steam—either they enter illegally across borders
or they have a visa for some reason and overstay the visa (they are not
screened abroad at all).
When those coming illegally hit the
border, they know to apply for asylum claiming that if they are sent home they
will be persecuted for their religious beliefs, political beliefs, race, sexual
orientation (a booming category!) and a few other things. They are then
referred to as asylum seekers.
They go through one of two processes that I have found confusing and
are either granted asylum or not. If they are turned down, they must
leave the country. Yesterday we learned that the Obama Administration was releasing from detention
failed asylum seekers who are high-tailing it to the Canadian border.
A successful asylum seeker is called
an asylee or sometimes the broader term political refugee. The Boston
Bomber brothers were part of a family that entered the US this way. As
full-fledged refugees they then could (and did) avail themselves of all the
same welfare goodies of refugees we flew in and they were free to work and to
travel outside the country. They could also bring in more family members.
On average we grant asylum to
24,000-25,000 of those who are here illegally, but can make a persuasive case
that they will be harmed if they go home. Add that 25,000 or so to the number
we discuss often here (Obama proposed 110,000 refugees for FY17 and to that add
this 25,000). To Trump’s 50,000 cap add this additional 25,000.
Those Africans we mentioned yesterday who
are running to Canada right now are FAILED asylum seekers NOT refugees!
According to the American
Immigration Council: In FY 2015, USCIS found 33,988 individuals to have
credible fear. These individuals, many of whom were detained during this
screening process, will be afforded an opportunity to apply for asylum
defensively and establish that they meet the refugee definition.
The number of credible fear cases
has skyrocketed since the procedure was implemented—in FY 2009, USCIS completed 5,523 cases. In FY
2014, case completions reached an all-time high of 49,607.
The largest number of successful asylum seekers are Chinese! Do you know we have a policy (I believe it is still in
effect) that allows Chinese men to use China’s one child policy as an argument
about why they should be here—they want more than one kid—and will thus be
persecuted if returned to China!
The countries of nationality for individuals granted asylum have
largely remained the same in that 10-year period, with nationals of China and
Egypt accounting for nearly half (46 percent) of grants each year since FY
2012. The rest of the asylum grants
provided in that time period consistently went to nationals of Ethiopia,
Venezuela, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Guatemala, Russia, Nepal, and Eritrea.
In FY 2014, the most recent year with available data, more individuals
from Syria were granted asylum than in any previous year (4 percent of all
grants). Individuals from China, Egypt,
and Syria combined accounted for half of the nearly 24 thousand individuals
granted asylum—either affirmatively or defensively—in FY 2014 (Figure 2). A
total of 96 nationalities were represented among all individuals granted asylum
in FY 2014.
So you can add another 1,000 Syrians getting in to the US through
asylum each year (a large number could be the
Christians that the UN is keeping out of our normal refugee flow). I
digress, but didn’t Obama (with the UN) use a religious test when 98% of the
Syrians admitted in the normal refugee program are Muslims?
One last thing!
I was annoyed by a Drudge headline
last night that read: “Refugees self-deport” about a story about the failed asylum seekers heading
for Canada. They are NOT refugees! They failed to be designated as
refugees. But, I see this morning that the headline has changed to the
more accurate, “Illegals self-deport!”
The Open Borders Left has
for years been working to control the language and they want you to think that
anyone on the move anywhere in the world, for any reason, is a refugee. It is a
big lie that the mainstream media helps to perpetuate!
Those migrants entering Europe by
the hundreds of thousands are most likely economic migrants, but most will
apply for asylum in Europe. They are not resettled refugees comparable to the
ones we (with the UN) bring from around the world. They are in fact not refugees
at all until they have successfully gained legal asylum although media around
the world deceptively uses the word ‘refugee.’
Where is Congress? I said as early as 2011, that this asylum process must be thoroughly investigated
by Congress because I suspect that someone or some groups are helping
third-worlders (possibly even paying them) to come across our borders and ask
for asylum.
